Link stared at the pale, but unfazed commander, and asked Herbert's whereabouts again.

Hansen didn't answer, but his eyes glanced at a boulevard that led to the top of the hill, and the outline of the building was faintly visible in the shade.

Before Link could get closer, the decorations on the piers on both sides of the stone path rolled down.

"Stone Golem?" Orlando recognized at a glance that this was the Doyle family's last trump card.

Relying on the elemental abilities obtained through marriage, the ancestors of the Doyle family borrowed the magic of the dwarven craftsmen and mages to create a private guard without flesh and blood. He was wondering why he didn't see the stone golem participating in the defense, and it turned out that he had retreated here.

"The road to the lord's mansion has been sealed. Hansen glanced at Doyle beside Link, his expression sad.

A hint of unease flashed through Link's mind at this detail, it seemed that things were exactly as I had predicted, otherwise the garrison commander would not have such an expression. He probably thinks that the Doyle family is crazy, no matter who they change, it's not bad......

Doyle was the first to step up the stairs, and the golem in charge of the town swung its fist at her.

Crouching down to avoid the blow that was both powerful and swift, Doyle retreated.

Due to the restrictions of the commands implanted when the zuΓ² is controlled, the golem will not attack the people of the Doyle family.

She began to wonder, "Am I not my mother's own?"

"Don't be cranky, these stone golems have been controlled by stronger people. ”

Link summons the Wrath of the Storm and the Rainbow and crosses Doyle to the Stone Golem.

The shape of the storm fury looks like a tuning fork, but the edges are extremely sharp, and the blade surrounded by thunder and lightning has an extremely high temperature, and it has not really touched it, and the stone golem's defense cannot withstand it, and it is cracked into countless pieces.

Doyle, who came back to his senses, also held the Dawn Light Sword behind Link to mend the sword, completely scrapping the golem that could not be completely destroyed in one blow. The priest is in the center. The defensive circle protects everyone, behind Orlando. Short combat wasn't his forte, and while Link was talking to the commander of the Voran garrison, he took a spin around the neighborhood and picked up two bags of scattered arrows and a crossbow, intending to support the two men in melee combat from range.

In the eyes of the soldiers defending the city, this man turned from a wind falcon is armed with a divine weapon. Easily broke through the stone staircase that cost lives on each floor.

"Go back to your posts!" exclaimed. Wake up the soldiers who were staring blankly at the intruder as they climbed farther and farther away.

They can hold it when the army is overwhelmed, and there is no reason why only a third of them are left behind. It's just that...... He couldn't help but turn his head and look at it again, and it had turned into a black spot four.

The holy relics open the way, and ordinary magic devices naturally can't resist it. The family legion that the ancestors of the Doyle family spent a lot of money to build to protect their descendants was quickly destroyed.

"Wait!"

Without Alisina to warn him, Link sensed the danger and just stopped. A large number of black objects poured out from the stairs above, like smoke and mist, and moved extremely fast, instantly eroding the stone golem that was still in a defensive state, and the bright eyes immediately lost their magical luster, and they fell to the ground with a bang, falling to pieces.

"What's that?" Orlando, a self-proclaimed erudite, has never seen anything in between.

"It's an ethereal spirit. Shut up! Stop talking. It absorbs the vitality of all living creatures. Doyle didn't bother to look back, it looked like the smoke that could be blown away by a single wind was much trickier than the Death Knight.

[Ethereal spirits are the close attendants of the god of death, a kind of necromantic monster that is very difficult to deal with, and ordinary people die without even seeing their true faces. Link, who had never seen an ethereal spirit, explained, "Be careful. The appearance of this thing means that there are Death's electors nearby. 】

Link understands that this electorate must be frosty. In the past, he fought with the possession, and Frost and Cold had no intention of fighting at all, and it could even be said that he had never used the true strength of the Grim Reaper's henchmen who were feared by all living beings, and this time it was just right to probe the bottom and see how strong Frost and Cold would be a hundred years later?

The vegetation on both sides of the stone steps quickly withered, the soil**, and even the white stones were corroded by the thick dead air. The black fog grew thicker and thicker, and the darkness enveloped the stone staircase at the top of the mountain, and the temperature dropped sharply, and even the exhaled breath turned into a white mist.

Orlando suddenly felt a chill in his back, as if someone or something was clinging to his back, and the cold sensation even reached his skin. He wanted to pull out the dagger from his waist to defend himself, but before he could make any move, a golden holy light rose from under Alisina's feet in front of him, and the ornament of the circle immediately changed.

Not only does the High Priest possess the strongest prophecy in the Dawn Sect, but he is also a battlefield priest who is both offensive and defensive, transforming defensive circles into dispel circles in an instant.

Like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, with this strange cry, Orlando Xun glanced back, only to see a figure with a long tail in mid-air, disappearing with the dimming of the holy light.

The heart was beating wildly, and Orlando had never been more scared than he was now.

"Hmm......" he covered his left chest.

Worst...... Is this magic or curse?

The heartbeat does not go down, and there is a tendency to get faster and faster. Looking at the others, Alysina was fully engaged in the maintenance of the circle, Doyle was holding his breath and guarding the surroundings, and Link in front of him could not see clearly.

Call......

The exhaled white mist did not disperse, but seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand.

Orlando's eyes widened, searching hard.

He was only one step away from Arisina and the gap between the two was not enough to stand on the side, what was going on with this vision? Am I dazzled?

The white mist turned into filaments, and Orlando could even see the filaments extending into his mouth and nose. The materialized aura was pulled out little by little, and his eyes began to darken, and his limbs were cold.

Something is being pulled out of the body along the breath, how can this happen?

Just as the half-elf thought he was going to die, one hand pierced through the darkness, and the other grabbed the hem of his clothes, lifting the body that had slowly fallen backwards.

[Hiss-] The strange cry was again, and this time it became clearer than the last time, as if it was ringing in my ears.

Orlando was slapped twice on the cheek, and his slumped sanity regathered. When he opened his eyes, he saw Link frowning.

"What's the matter......" Orlando couldn't believe that the voice was his so weak that he could barely hear it. Like a dying patient.

"Don't speak, you're very weak right now. ”

The sensation of warmth travels from the palm of the hand against the door of the head to all parts of the body, like a campfire suddenly burning in the cold of winter, and Orlando instinctively draws from this heat. Vaguely hearing Doyle's frustrated voice drifting from the front, he struggled to raise his eyes, and now the Dawn Knight took Link's place, standing at the front. Keep swinging the lightsaber in your hand. It seems to be driving away something.

"Concentrate!" Link amplified his voice a little, how could this guy still be distracted, he was almost sucked away by the ethereal spirit directly sucking his soul away just now.

The ethereal spirit itself is an invisible spirit, and the black mist is nothing more than a manifestation of the embodiment of the dead qi after a certain degree of dΓΉ. If it weren't for the light released by the Great Priest to catch a trace, he wouldn't have been able to see it as a child of nature.

That's right!

Link had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of a way, and he didn't know if he could succeed, so he asked Lorelei first.

Link's thoughts were quickly conveyed to Lorelei, who asked if he would be able to see the ethereal spirit after the vaporization.

[After vaporization, it belongs to the category of uncontrollable, and it can indeed be seen, but are you sure you really want to do this? You must know that the ethereal spirit is the condensation of the power of the god of death, which is equivalent to the doppelganger of the god of death. Any living creature that sees them will be taken from life. Why do you think the woman closed her eyes? She also saw that although it was only a vague afterimage, the power of the god of death had also eroded her body, and nothing had happened just because she was pious enough to be protected by the morning sun. 】

The High Priest has also been tricked, and Link wants to help Alicina. But when she opened her eyes, her divine power was obviously not as abundant as just now, and it was obviously consumed a lot in the fight with the ethereal spirit.

The frost has not yet been seen, and the situation is a little not good. Orlando had already stepped into the coffin with one foot, and although he had barely snatched it back from the Grim Reaper, it couldn't help much. Both himself and the Grand Priest have been consumed, and Doyle is the only one who is safe, but she is the object that Link needs to watch out for.

"Can you see the ethereals?" Doyle struggled to keep his voice down, for fear of attracting the attention of the wandering ethereals.

Just now, she only saw Link suddenly turn around, cross the great priest, and grab the half-elf who had rolled his eyes, and the hand holding the sword swung out at the same time, and the thick black mist suddenly dispersed a little. Seem...... Did you hit some ethereal?

Link shook his head, and Orlando was still sane and able to stand on his own without his support. He pushed the half-elf forward and took the last position himself.

Dispel didn't work, and Alysina swapped out a healing circle that would slowly restore her physical strength. The black mist of the ethereal spirit will draw the energy of life, which is the only feasible method at the moment. The Ethereal Spirit is not without its weaknesses, the Dawn Knight can annihilate it with the divine power of the Light Blade given by the Dawn Dawn, and the Holy Light she holds can illuminate the Void Spirit's figure, even if it is only for a short moment, it is enough, but it ......

It's not that Alysina doesn't trust Doyle, the blade of light is a manifestation of divine power, and she's worried that excessive consumption will give Frost a chance.

"I'll do it. Link understands the hesitation of the Great Priest, his magic power has bottomed out, but his magic power is still abundant. Even if he had exhausted his divine power that could be used for battle when he saw Frost Cold, there was still Doyle. The eyes were the windows to the soul, and he believed that the night seeing was not a disguise, and that Doyle was hiding under the accusations of anger and deep fear, and that she had grown up as a human being, listening to the teachings of the dawn, and growing up to be a qualified knight, to have faith in her. The only thing he was worried about was Winnie's variable. The only woman who can influence and influence the situation is this woman with multiple identities of Doyle's mother, Doyle's direct lineage, a hidden spy, and a cold possession medium, oh~ She is still a ** teacher.

Without further ado, Alysina stared at Link silently for a few seconds before nodding solemnly. She also understands Link's determination and wants to take a gamble.

This situation no longer allows them to back down, and what the future holds, she wants to witness with her own eyes, and realize it with her hands and feet, rather than relying on prophecy.

"Doyle. ”

As soon as Doyle turned around, he saw Link put away his electric sword.

"Don't forget what I said to you last time. Your destiny should be chosen by you, not by the path paved by others. ”

Before Doyle could comprehend, Alicina's light suddenly soared.

"Close your eyes!" Link shouted, and he leapt into the air, disappearing.

"Close your eyes!" Alicina shouted again.

Knowing that Link might be going to use some kind of spell that he couldn't look at, both Orlando and Doyle obediently closed their eyes.

The hissing burst suddenly, and then the coldness vanished. A warm glow shone on the body. Doyle tried to open his eyes several times, but finally suppressed it.

I don't know how long it took for Link's slightly tired voice to sound.

"Alright, open your eyes. ”

Doyle hurriedly opened his eyes, and the staircase that had been plunged into darkness by the black fog had reappeared, and the ground was scattered with the remnants of some golems.

She couldn't feel the death of the ethereal spirit, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Then I became nervous again.

"Isn't the Golem powered by magic? "Leaving home too early. I only heard my grandfather say that these sculptures standing everywhere in the city were built by my ancestors with huge manpower and material resources, and they were also the last reliance of the Doyle family. If you don't face the scourge of extermination, you must not use it lightly.

She really wanted to see Herbert as soon as possible, to see if he was bewitched by something, and he didn't even want the rules and titles set by his ancestors?

"How are you?" Alysina looked at the tired Link, even if he didn't say anything, she knew that he had used the power of the morning sun with the emblem on the back of his hand. If it's just a little bit of it, to dispel the void spirit, the divine power used is probably not as simple as one or two divine arts. And. Link is not a follower of Dawn. Even if Dawn responds to his request, the amount of divine power consumed is multiplied.

"It's fine. Link took a deep breath, the situation was slightly better than he expected, and there was still some divine power left.

In the middle of the moon, it is the time when the energy of the chaos camp is at its strongest.

"Finally at the fork in the road of fate. Let's go and meet for a while to guide the culprit of this qiΔ“. ”

The four of them walked up the final staircase in order, and on the circular terrace stood only one person, three corpses and an undead spirit, to be exact.

There was a sturdy middle-aged man lying on the ground, dressed in a gorgeous costume, and his identity was revealed. He was flanked by two young men, about the same age as Doyle, no more than twenty years old, who were supposed to be the two sons of the Duke.

The four of them looked stunned, and Herbert didn't know why his two sons also died.

"Didn't these two go to the Wood Elf's court? Why are they here?Is the Guardian Ground breached by the undead?" Orlando looked eagerly at Link.

"The pillar is fine. At least, Link thought so, and he didn't feel anything unusual about the column. But he was also unsure that the Pillars of Earth and Water were polluted, and that he could still use his powers. If the Pillar of Wind was polluted, would he be able to feel it...... Isn't it true that Frost has spent twenty years setting up such a big chess game just to pollute the Wind Pillar, and if he has already succeeded, there is no need to get us to Volan.

Thinking of this, he cast his gaze on the only 'person' standing.

Doyle's gaze was earlier than Link's.

"Mother. ”

Although after so many years, she still recognized the back at a glance.

Winnie turned around, and her once-beautiful face was only skinny and bone-like, and her gorgeous clothes were empty on her, and when the wind blew from the top of the mountain, she immediately lifted up, revealing her equally skinny lower limbs.

Doyle took two steps back, his memory failing to coincide with reality. Although she already had a hunch, she still couldn't accept it when she really faced it.

[Ah...... The moment has finally arrived. 】

Doyle was startled by the dull hoarse voice, and she immediately reacted, it was obviously a man's voice, and it also had a familiarity that made her scalp tingle. She'd heard it!

"Who are you?!"

[I've been by your side since I was a child, and I forgot about it so quickly after a few days?] The characteristic laughter made Doyle's face pale.

It's the voice she calls the Mystery! the voice that always comes to mind all the time! It's the Lich King of the Undead Empire that Link is talking about!

"Frost!!" she hadn't heard since that night.

[It's me.] 】

"What about my mother?" Doyle pointed at the dried corpse a few paces away, barely smelling the stench, apparently dead for many years.

When was it? Was she murdered when she left home?

【Nope.】 】

"What?"

[From the beginning, there was no such person.] The lich cracked its mouth, and two clusters of scarlet flames shone from the black hole's eye sockets.

Doyle trembled, what does it mean that there was no one in the first place? Am I really not the blood of the Doyle family......

Unexpectedly, what came out of Frost Cold's mouth was a truth that was even more cruel than imagined.

[This body has been in my control since birth.] At first, all I wanted was a medium that could sneak into Hohenheim, but I didn't expect a complete strategy to kill two birds with one stone in the ** library. The Lich Statue Doyle held out his hand, "Now, it's time to return this body that has been cultivated for many years to me. 】

Doyle used great willpower to restrain her involuntary approach to the lich's body, and she was so angry that her teeth kept pounding and clicking.

"You mean, my birth was a conspiracy you designed from the beginning?" Even those cherished memories of care, desperate and helpless eyes, are all fake? Doyle felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole, and there was no part of his body that was blocked, from his soul to **, and he was so cold that his heart was painful.

[Are you mistaken, it was the first Duke Bull who made the deal with me. He was tired of endless wars and longed to live forever like the undead, in exchange for the flesh of his offspring, as a medium for my possession. Originally, I wanted to use this body to pollute the Pillar of the Wind, but I found an enchantment in Hohenheim where I could enter the Pillar of Fire by mixing with demons. So I changed my plan and made another puppet, so I could take down the Pillar of Wind and the Pillar of Fire at the same time. 】

Orlando suddenly interjected, "So you abandoned the old duke?"

[How, I am true to my word, he wants to be an undead, and I have satisfied him. Merge with the Grim Reaper, life and death. 】

Link, who had been listening quietly, finally changed his face slightly, it turned out that the ethereal spirit just now was the former Duke of Kronberg, who had been dead for many years, and the frost had turned him into an ethereal spirit!

ps:

Frost's true perversion, sex can't stop it anymore.
